I have only have my computer for barely a year and a half and it is running soooo slow. It has been scanned for viruses and cookies, there is none. The disc has been attempted to be cleaned but it gets to 10% and stops. The disc is running at 100% at all times. Highly disappointed.
Disc running at 100%

Re: Laptop will not start after Windows Update
I have never had that sort of problem before.
Mine has always been that the update failed with an error message but I was able to boot into Window.
I suggest Googling Windows 10 update Blue Screen and see which one matches the problem you are seeing.

Please reply to me about what the problem is !
My pc says the following information programmed into the system board is missing or invalid

Re: black screen with capslock button blinking
Hi
I agree with CherylG 's excellent answer and a hard reset is something like this...
First:- Turn off the computer, press and hold the PWR button for 4 seconds.
Then - Leave only keyboard and mouse connected, disconnect all externally connected
devices such as Docking Station, USB storage devices, displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.
Next - Press and Hold the Power button for 15 seconds to Hard Reset.
AND/OR - Power on your PC, press Esc (repeatedly), then F2 at the prompt.
Choose System Tests (Fast Test does a 4 minute hardware check).
AND/OR - Windows Logo key + Ctrl + Shift + B
AND/OR - If you’re using multiple displays, try projecting video to a different monitor.
Press the Windows Logo key + P, select a display, and then press Enter.
Re: black screen with capslock button blinking
Hi
A long shot is (and only vaguely possible)...
Main- (Mother) Board | 5.3 | The embedded controller times out waiting for the BIOS. Component is not reachable by BIOS in certain time limit. | 1 Reseat component. 2 Test known good component. 3 Replace component or Main-Board as needed. |
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02693833
Try reading thru the BIOS page and attempting a recovery...
- Turn off the computer, and then connect the power cord.
- Press and hold the Windows key and the B key at the same time, and then press and hold the power button for 2 to 3 seconds.
- Release the Power button but continue pressing the Windows and B keys. You might hear a series of beeps.The HP BIOS Update screen displays and the recovery begins automatically. Follow any on-screen prompts to continue the startup to complete the recovery.
- If the HP BIOS Update screen does not display, repeat the previous steps but press the Windows key and the V key. If the screen still does not display, your computer might not support the feature or there is a hard drive issue. Continue to the next step to install a BIOS recovery file from the HP website.
- If the Power light turns off, the Power button was held too long. Repeat the previous steps, making sure to hold the button for only 2 to 3 seconds.
Re: windows 8.1 pro network key and wifi problems
Hi
Most of this should help with Windows EIGHT.
KeyFinderInstaller may help....
https://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/
Doing research, and none of the methods are mine, I have some, simple single lines of code that will list the same value for your Windows 10 Product Key…
Two for Windows 10 and one for Linux.
W10 Using cmd.exe as an Administrator (copy and paste accordingly).
wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey >> c:\ProdKey.txt
Creates a text file called ProdKey.txt on your C:\ area.
Next is a PowerShell command, as Administrator...
(Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey
but it will run within W10 using cmd.exe as an Administrator.
powershell (Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey
Last, but not least....
Linux@Lubuntu:~$ sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM | strings | tail -n 1

So you can make an install disk DVD/USB and do a clean install when you are ready, providing the OS is licenced.
You may have to buy a licence.
Then setup the WiFi. Do you have an ethernet cable capability?
